I just got two baby amyae, one will chow down on anything and everything I put in there. The other is more relectant.

I was wondering how everyone goes about heating their knobtail racks? I am leaning towards heat cable underneath the tubs? Is belly heat or back heat better? Also, do you guys prefer heat cable or flexwatt?

If I have three geckos, about how big a bag of CGD would I want to last a year? 1 lb.?

If I wanted to set up a breeding trio of cresties, would a 20 gallon long stood on end be good enough? Would this screen cage be good as well?Crested Gecko Cage - $62.99 - $62.99 : Sandfire Dragon Ranch
